- Retro VGA 8x16 font replaces TTF, unifying console look across platforms and adding a hybrid text/graphics indicator.
- macOS SDL console crash fixed by correcting threading architecture, though unsigned binaries require manual approval.
- Shebang support added for Unix-like systems, allowing direct script execution with optional console settings via magic comments.
